Nike's management commentary on their 2nd quarter 2021 earnings

​BEAVERTON, Ore., Dec. 18, 2020 — NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) today reported fiscal 2021 financial results for its second quarter ended November 30, 2020.

“NIKE’s strong results during a dynamic environment show the power of staying on the offense,” said John Donahoe, President and CEO, NIKE, Inc. “Fueled by compelling innovative product and global brand momentum, we continue to extend our leadership. Our strategy is working, and we are excited for what’s ahead.”** Our second quarter revenue performance was impacted by strong NIKE Brand digital growth of 84 percent, offset by lower revenue in our wholesale business and NIKE-owned stores.

​During the quarter, we experienced temporary door closures in geographies affected by rising COVID-19 cases; however, more than 90% of our owned stores are open today, with some operating on reduced hours. We continue to experience year-over-year declines in physical retail traffic in North America, EMEA and APLA due to COVID-19 impacts and safety-related measures, partially offset by higher conversion rates. “With healthy inventory positions across all geographies, our return to growth is a testament to our digital strength, as well as our disciplined marketplace and financial management,” said Matt Friend, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, NIKE, Inc. “As we look ahead, we are focused on moving even faster against our strategic vision of Consumer Direct Acceleration and fueling sustainable, long-term growth and profitability
November 30, 2020 Balance Sheet Review
• Inventories for NIKE, Inc. were $6.1 billion, down 2 percent compared to the prior year period, returning to healthy levels globally. • Cash and equivalents and short-term investments were $11.8 billion, $8.3 billion higher than last year primarily due to proceeds from a corporate bond issuance in March and positive free cash flow, partially offset by cash dividends and share repurchases. Total liquidity as of November 30th was $15.8 billion which includes cash and equivalents, short-term investments and committed credit facilities which remain undrawn.

Shareholder Returns
NIKE continues a strong track record of investing to fuel growth and consistently increasing returns to shareholders, including 19 consecutive years of increasing dividend payouts. In the second quarter, the Company paid dividends of $385 million to shareholders, up 12 percent from the prior year. During its FY20 fourth quarter, NIKE, Inc. temporarily suspended share repurchase activity in March to maximize liquidity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to the temporary suspension of the share repurchase program, a total of 45.2 million shares had been repurchased for approximately $4.0 billion, resulting in approximately $11.0 billion in remaining capacity under the 2018 share repurchase program.

Recent coverage of Nike Inc

The extract below covers the latest earnings report from Nike as obtained from CNBC.com

​Nike shares hit a record high Friday before reversing lower. The stock was on watch ahead of Nike’s earnings report after the bell Friday, unusual timing for the company. Whether the company beats or misses expectations, Piper Sandler chief market technician Craig Johnson says, any weakness presents a buying opportunity for investors.

“We continue to think that this is a stock that’s got more room to run. And as you look at the chart, you’re still making a nice series of higher highs, higher lows. The recent price action has pulled back, retested the uptrend support line and also the 50-day moving average as it continues to push ahead and make new highs,” Johnson told CNBC’s “Trading Nation” on Friday.
